Disable custom FormMenuButtonControl on form

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by alinawaz 209

Hi Community Experts,

I have a requirement where I need to disable a FormMenuButtonControl, it is a custom button coming from a different model.

I need to disable it on the Applications form inside Human Resource module.

But I am unable to get this control in the event handler, I am writing this inside On_Activated event handler of form data source.

But its returning an error that no such control exists on Form.

I tried with CoC as well, but its not working.

    Hi Chota Hukam,

    You can also create label id for control name and use it in your code. Like below.

    [FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(FormName, TableName), FormDataSourceEventType::Activated)]
public static void TableName_OnActivated(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)
{
    FormRun frun = sender.formRun();
    FormMenuButtonControl menuButton = frun.design().controlName("label Id You have created for the control") as FormMenuButtonControl;
    menuButton.visible(false);
    
}

    Thanks,

    Girish S.

    Maybe there is none - it's just your speculation that such a macro exists.

    Look into the model that adds Dox42SystemDefinedButton to see whether the developer hard-coded the name, used a macro or a constant.

    If you can't look into code, you can still look at model definitions to AOT, e.g. to know whether there is an AOT macro.

    If you don't find anything, create a constant by yourself.

    goshoom How can I check which Macro to refer here ?

    Its a different model altogether, I am not aware of its elements.

    The first code snippet fails because no such control is available in the definition of HRMApplication form - it's added at runtime.

    In the second code snippet, you're referring to a macro that you haven't defined anywhere in your class. The standard macro (SysSystemDefinedButtons) can't contain custom controls.

    Have you included the other model where the menu item was created as a reference model in your model?
